Chapter Nine: Let Me Spend My Life Loving Him.

"M-Mr Hummel?"

"Yes, Blaine?"

"I… um..."

"Spit it out, Hobbit."

"You haven't been hanging around Sue Sylvester by any chance, have you?"

"Yeah…We're running against each other. Why?"

"No reason. No reason at all…"

"Uh-huh. Now, what do you want?"

"…Nothing. Aha. Forget I said anything. Bye."

"Get back here, kid."

"O-okay. Right. I can do this. I can."

"Sure you can, kid. Tell me what's bothering you."

"I… bought a ring."

"…Congratulations?"

"It's a very special type of ring. And I want to give it to someone. Someone you're close to. Someone in your family."

"Why do I get the feeling we're not talking about Carole, here?"

"Because we're not. Although, off topic, I have been thinking of getting her jewellery for mother's day."

"That's nice of you, kid. Back on topic, please."

"Damnit. Um. Well. I want to give this ring… to Kurt."

"You're seventeen. That's a little young to be proposing, don't you think?"

"It's not an engagement ring! I swear. It's a promise ring. Because we're not going to be seventeen forever, and I do want to give him an engagement ring … y'know… one day. To be honest, I'm looking forward to the day."

"That's… that's really sweet."

"Mr. Hummel, are you crying?"

"No."

"Uh… right. Branches in both eyes?"

"Yes. Now… why are you telling me this, kid? Not that it isn't lovely and romantic and all, but aren't you better off telling the guy you actually want to marry one day?"

"I wanted to ask for your permission first."

"Wow, kid, you sure do things old fashioned."

"Sort of, sir. I just thought it'd mean a lot to both you and Kurt. Kurt likes the old fashioned romantic stuff, you know. I want him to have that. I want to give him everything he wants."

"I've gained a lot of respect for you during this conversation, Blaine. Which is saying a lot, considering Kurt asked my permission to have sex with you about a month ago."

"What?"

"Nothing. Anyway, I-uh-give you permission? Is that the protocol for these things? I bless it?"

"Thank you, Mr. Hummel!"

"Just do me two favours, kid?"

"Sure, sir. Anything."

"First, call me Burt."

"O-of course, Mr- I mean, Burt. I'd be happy to."

"Good. And second… make it romantic. Y'know, when you ask him. You're right- That kid deserves all the romance and spoiling in the world. If he doesn't come and tell me you gave him that ring after serenading him and a moon-lit dinner, I'm going to be very disappointed in you."

"Trust me, Burt; I've had what I'm going to do planned out for a long time. I'll be serenading him, taking him out dancing, taking him to dinner, and then we're going to sneak into Dalton so I can ask him on the staircase."

"Why a staircase?"

"That's where we first met."

"Burt?"

"…Burt?"

"Burt, are you crying again?"

"No!"

Prompts are still open, my lovelies! Review with a pairing/scenario, and it shall be written, because I'm nice like that ;)
